Does anyone else's lude freeze from the inside during winter? This causes my back seats to get wet and window frosts from inside. Any common causes of this? Thanks

you've got a gasket leak somewhere and it's letting humidity in

not really hard !!! maybe you got a leak not far from the tank from the inside did you ever check under the trunk carpet near the back seat or under your back seat maybe there sum rust there to check this out .

or

when you get in your car did you clap your boot out before entering ,, or you just get in like in summer ....

snow = water when it's warm inside and after when you let your car for the night it it's a result of humidity + freezing ..

if you wanna fix your problem do a long ride with the heat on foot at max for about 1 hours and just open a little bit the widows or /and sunroof .

and next time each time that you will get water in your carpet try too remouve it .. i wish you dont keep your oem carpet in winter time .. it grabs all water and you cant see it .. buy sum rubber carpet that can keep snow /water inside ..

Thanks for the responses. I checked in the trunk where the spare tire sits and there's a puddle of water so it's probably not a gasket leak. I had worse luck today tho. While going 70 on the highway my hood flew up out of nowhere and slammed right into my windshield. Now i have a cracked window and messed up hood. I'll post some pics up.

WTF?

do you have a CF hood with ****ty pins or something?

Just a stock hood. I don't know what happened, last time i popped the hood was three weeks ago for an oil change.

Puddle of water is probably because of the tail light gaskets. Remove the panels in the trunk and close trunk cover. Take your hose and spray water around your trunk area. If you see water around your tail light its your gaskets. Replace them and Voila! Your problem is fixed!

I agree! its usually the cause of the water by the spare issue. Although if your cheap (like me) you can get some RTV sealer and just seal it with that! (Screw you Honda for your $10 each gasket!)

Im having the same issue in my trunk, thanks Rompirate (and the OP for starting the thread).

I have plenty of RTV sealer and I'm not afraid to use it
